Turning Star Trek into action schlock is the worst thing ever.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it either.
However, I felt the same way about the first trailer I saw of the original reboot. *Waiting and seeing; waiting and seeing.* |

That is one really bad trailer. Would be okay for a random sci-fi action flick but star trek? Just no tone of or connection to that universe at all.
Which doesn't mean the movie itself will be anything like the trailer, but Christ, imagine if they cut a trailer like that for the force awakens. There'd be a riot. ****ing horrific marketing. Which I guess shouldn't be a surprise from the idiots who thought Into Darkness was a good title for a star trek move. And didn't realize everyone could call it STD. Some of these trailer editing teams are great. Like the ones who've worked on the force awakens. The production team on this one should be shitcanned yesterday. |

As long as they get general audiences in to see Star Trek they are satisfied, and they know they will get hardcore Trek fans in anyway, because let's be honest, I'm going to see this film just because it has Kirk in it and on the off chance Pegg didn't **** it up. If they put out a trailer like this...no one under 30 would go see it.

People under 30 are going to the movies on Friday in droves. You don't have to make everything look like a sugar rush on crack to get butts in seats. Make it look good, make it look worth people's time. Don't make it look trite. Make it look like an event. That's all I'm saying. It doesn't have to be a trailer from the 90s.
Hell, they've had trouble drawing an audience anyway.... And I will continue to say exactly what I said for Into Darkness: their marketing hurts more than it helps. I think that might be true with this. |

Isn't that what he is ultimately doing with Star Wars too? Directing the first one then just producing the rest?

I can't see him ever returning to direct Star Trek. He's just getting producer credit (and revenue) for jump starting the franchise. |

My guess is that since this film is far from complete, the director doesn't even know "what" the film will be, as so many films are actually created in Post. But that said, there was no reason for Paramount to rush out a trailer, especially one as shitty as this one. I just hope that none of my friends edited it. |

One more thing: Why does the Enterprise need to be destroyed in every other Star Trek film? What's up with that?

What kind of a name is "Beyond" anyway for a movie.
You can tell they put real thought into that shit.

Which doesn't mean he won't **** it up... (Total tangent but the funniest thing to me lately has been people complaining about TFA possibly being at it's core a remake. Like the first Star Wars is some original thing, rather than a pastiche of Dune, serials and Kurosawa movies...) |
